Once child abusers are charged and convicted, it can take months or years before victims and their families can recover from the trauma and pain.

Child Protective Services and law enforcement agencies can protect the victims and bring them justice, but several other agencies stand by victims and families on the long road to recovery, while also seeking to prevent child abuse in the future.

Children’s Advocacy Centers

Several child advocacy centers across North Texas team up with law enforcement agencies and Child Protective Services to ensure victims of child abuse are safe and that their cases are prosecuted.

The groups aim to minimize trauma by advocating for the children and their non-offending family members by offering healing services and therapy. Most of the centers also offer community education programs.
